On Wednesday, January 10th at approximately 12:00 pm, Gasquet Fire and California Highway Patrol were dispatched and responded to a reported overturned semi-truck on Highway 199.
Upon arrival at the scene, first responders determined that truck had crossed into oncoming traffic after a turn and had rolled on its side spilling its load of individually packaged bags of potting soil.
The rollover was blocking both north and southbound lanes of Highway 199 which resulted in traffic being delayed until a single lane was opened about an hour after the accident.
American Medical Response reportedly transported the driver to the hospital with moderate injuries.
CHP is investigating the cause of the accident.
Gasquet Fire, Illinoise Valley Fire Department, American Medical Response, Caltrans and CHP responded to Cal. MP 30 for a Mutual Aid request from Gasquet Fire.
